METHOD FOR INCREASING SYNCHRONOUS CONTROL CHANNEL CAPACITY IN A WIRELESS SYSTEM

摘要

A method is provided for controlling delivery of packets over a synchronous control channel in a wireless system employing the High Rate Packet Data (HRPD) standard. The synchronous channel is comprised of a plurality of slots, and a first packet is sent over the synchronous control channel in a first one of the plurality of slots along with an indication of a second one of the plurality of slots in which a second packet will be delivered. Thereafter, the second packet is sent over the control channel in the second one of the plurality of slots. Subsequent packets are handled similarly.
